A Flicker of Hope
When the going gets tough and I feel I will fall;
I think of the days when I felt so tall.
A flicker of hope lights up the way, like a firefly flying away
So long ago I was a little girl;
Watching the flower beds swirl with their curls.
I hope those days do come back, when happiness I did not lack
As I grew up all things seemed to change.
I never got to see them the same.
Then hope disappeared into the air, and life became so unfair.
Now Mom was gone miles away;
and I waited each night for the come of the day.
My hope came back on a fine string, ready to break at any given beating.
Life is different now then when I was a little girl;
The days I would sing and dance, to be unafraid to twirl.
A flicker of hope had lit up the way. Like a firefly drifting away.
